Pros

I've been with Veloicx for one year, and it has been a great experience. Velocix has supported their employees during difficult times (Covid-19), sending care packages, regular touchpoints (formal and informal) for staff during remote working. There are also great opportunities for career advancement as Veloicx belongs to a larger group (Lumine), so worth keeping that in mind when reviewing longer-term career prospects. I am looking forward to meeting more of the team at Veloicx as I have only met in a digital world. In summary, I can highly recommend Velocix as a great place to work!

Cons

Not really a con, but I did my initial research on Glassdoor and saw the negative feedback on Velocix, but during the first stage of interviewing, I very quickly realised the company had gone through a restructuring which will, of course, have a negative impact here from former employees. But look a the whole picture, the company has turned a corner and in great hands with the leadership and hard-working teams across the group. My only negative so far, which is beyond the company's control, is that I have been unable to meet anyone face to face due to joining during Covid-19 lockdown, but I hope that will resolve toward the end of 2021.

Pros

Probably You will get your salary every month... so far everyone got.

Cons

Horrible and Totally Negative work culture. All top guys are really crap. Chennai India center used to be RnD, but soon after the acquisition mgmt stopped that. Company don’t have patience to wait for 6 months to see profit. They started reducing headcount from 2nd month onwards. Chennai leaders don’t know what they are doing, just blabbering and Pretending as if they understand and know companies vision. Starting from Top to Senior Manager level all are lying. No Hike and Bonus in 2019, But Just lie. All top guys in Chennai are doing favoritism to their Pets.. Give and Take. Product code quality other then CDN is horrible with multiple flaws, They don’t even have intention to have good solutions, what they need is some workaround and temporary fix. No time for Dev and Test, No respect for engineers. Even mgmt didn’t cared when Architects were leaving the organization. Looks like Manager is thinking he can do everything. No Transparency No product future No roadmap

Pros

Was a great place to work. Challenging. Smart People to work with. Good market traction in the past.

Cons

I have sympathy for the customers and employees. Politics Management decision making lack of relevant strategy. They were the market leader, expanded with multi site development, attempted to develop new products, which failed probably due to multi site development. Old CEO brought in lots of Lucent wireless chums with no market experience and an awful culture. Instead of sorting out the fundamental issues so products could be brought to market, re-org after re-org, politics and the good people started to leave. Now you have restructuring and more people leaving by force or by choice. Ontop of that dreamt up a number of crazy new products, which have all failed either because they were ill conceived or just incapable of being delivered due to focus/burn of the previous failed deliveries or incapable engineering teams.
